today. >> reporter: and as we take another live look from sky eye chopper 13 overhead right now, we can tell you that we just got updated numbers from the mayor's office. on top of those units that have been condemned, a total of 359 units here did have substantial damage. also, some have been registered. on top of all of this, there is a curfew that is now in effect for this area until tomorrow morning. so no one is allowed in here inside this dutch village apartment complex. also, three people did suffer minor injuries, including one man who just survived cancer. i'll have his incredible story of survival. for now, we're live, adam may, wjz eyewitness news. >> all right, adam. thank you. people in baltimore county were literally shaken out of bed overnight by this powerful storm. wjz is live overnight. derek valcourt is there.

this is just one example. the roofing company going to down now. all because this came crashing into the house. right in the middle of the storm. this is just one example. in fact, almost every single home has had at least minor damage. it's a mess. when the storms ripped through 1:30 in the morning. >> it was extremely loud. the whole house was shaking. >> my wife and i woke up. and said, we better get to the basement. >> it got worse and worse. and it didn't last more than 20 or 30 seconds. >> winds ripped off siding. tore off roofing shingles. but it's the towering trees and in some cases, even into houses. this one in carne, among the hardest hit. >> reporter: that corner of the house is a master bedroom. luckily, no one was inside when

those 80-mile-an-hour winds literally uprooted these giant tree. neighbors had to call 911. >> all of this is good for tree trimming. insurance justers getting pulled as well. >> i'll be doing some of that today. tomorrow. >> you'll have a lot of debris in their yard. and people, sometimes they got singles. good news for a lot of these folks, though, power has just been restored in this particular neighborhood. but many of them know they have a lot of work ahead of them. derek valcourt, wjz eyewitness news. >> the images are hard to believe.

sky eye chopper 13 remains over the scene of the damage. let's go to captain mike perry with more. you're looking at along northern parkway. this is where the ruse from -- roofs from the dutch village apartment complex landed about 300 yards north of where they originally came off. number 1, to assist employees and also to assist homeowners who may still be in the area. power has not been completely restored to the area. generally speak being, most of the people who are here are either residents who are being allowed to shelter in place. or workers who are actually just trying to restore some people's homes to liveability. we have mcclane boulevard. police command post is set up. and a number of police officers

to enforce the curfew that adam was telling you about. >> still unclear what exactly swept through. >> well, we just got off the phone with the national weather service. said they hoped to have all of the information. but this is the storm that caused all of the damage. that went right near. and take a look at this. we're going to repeat this loop a couple of times. it comes from the southwest. and has bright colors along. and that is a thunderstorm that produced all of that damage. now, what the national weather service is looking at is a couple of different things. one, the pattern of storm damage, whether all of these trees were in a straight line, or whether there was rotation to them. that's one indication, also. from the damage, they look at how well built the houses were to see probably what the winds were that would have taken a roof off of the house like this.
